A Bud Buffalo, a Conan Cow, and
a Barrelin' Bull...

Did you catch our cow on
the
Conan show in September? Ol' Bessie the Holstein wasn't feeling a lot
of self-esteem, so she attempted suicide on the show on three
different nights!
Okay, technically, the third night was a murder-suicide, as
she did leap out of the rafters onto Two and a Half Men's
Jon Cryer:

Well,
it turns out Poor Bessie
had a history of Identity issues. In fact, she started out as a he,
originally. As a Water Buffalo, created for a Bud Light ad; a stunt gag
in which he was required to
swing in from out of frame and bash into a stuntman:

But then the Siren Call came! A major Feature
Fillm! The
incredibly aptly named "Disaster Movie!" Okay, so it was a job. "Macho
Water Buffalo, we have a part for you, but it's a bit of a stretch. Well, not so much a stretch,
as it is a sex change, a paint job, and an udderaddtomy." Ever the pro,
our TCS Foam Stunt
Bovine was up to the task, became known as "Bessie", and was soon
making cinematic history! Kinda:

It was little more than a
"Fall-on" part, and after a debauched wrap party involving Kim
Kardashian, countless jello shots, and some inflatable sheep, Bessie
sought other work for 3 years, but found
none. Until the Conan show. And
while the national exposure accounted for something, itdidn't
help Bessie's feelings of being typecast, abused, and having a really sore neck.

Time for a CHANGE! In an attempt
to break out of her rut (and also the Guinness World Record for most
Bovine Gender Reassignment Procedures), Bessie had a quadruple
mastectomy and grew a pair...of horns. AND balls. Enter BILLY the BULL!

That's right. Billy was now an 8 horsepower Steerable Ramming
Stunt Bull with Hydraulic Brakes, and specially reinforced to take the
toughest assignments, head on. He appeared on Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy
Factory, on MTV2, chasing the likes of Johnny Knoxville and Chris
Pontius around. In fact, this bull has so much balls, it took a jump
off a ramp!

If you want to see the full sequence,check
it out! (The action starts
at 12:40 in the linked video)

With
that, you would think that Billie could go on with his career with
oportunites galore to hang outwith the skate rat/Jackass crowd...but
Conaco, Inc. had other ideas...

That's right. Conaco needed their Bessie back! In
a tuxedo! So, hop off that go-cart Billy, you're getting a
testicleectomy, an udder augmentation, and another Holstein makeover
(replete with a natty Tux jacket!) to appear on the CONAN show YET
AGAIN!

You think DeNiro had dedication to his craft?
Added weigth, lost weight for a role...PFFFT! Big Deal! Did he go
through 3 reversing sex changes for his craft? Yeah; that's what I
thought. We should hail Buffy/Bessie/Billy/Bessie again for
his/her/it's continued dedication to the craft.

But seriously, folks: This is a very lightweight,
very durable, very customizable cow/bull form that's great for action
and stunt shots. It hasn't got (except for
a little on the face) hair, fur, or hide on its body, so we don't
consider it an example of our realistic work. But for the
actions it does, and as long as you see it
on camera...no fur needed, and it looks and works great for the gag!
